I think that would get dirty fairly easily. Have you looked at any of the suggestions on the other rug thread from a few weeks ago?

I prefer this one to the first one you posted. Will the company allow you to return it if the color doesn't work IRL?

I'm with OSH. I prefer some on the rugs posted in the earlier referenced thread--particularly the Karastan check one. Another option could be to go to a carpet store and get a carpet bound. Rugs can be very challenging to choose. It took me over 8 months to select mine. There are literally thousands of different options there. In general, if you are feeling stressed out about a design decision, it's not the best of frameworks in which to make such a decision. Have you visited any rug stores or are you solely shopping online?

Have you seen this Pottery Barn rug? When I saw it the other day, I thought of you. I did't know you were still looking at that time. I think this is beautiful.

The Adeline rug that deep1013 posted is the 1st one I've seen that I like with your room. I think it would be perfect.

I really like the Adeline rug in your room too. It's casual but plush looking and would look great with denim or ivory either one.

Unfortunately, the Adeline rug has too much green to work. The wall color is really very pretty but it's proving to be hard to work with, I guess because cobalt blue has cycled "out" and spa/tiffany blue is "in." (They both work in my house!) It's also a tad too close to the classic traditional Persian rug for me.

I've been to the 2 largest local rug stores as well as done bits & pieces of browsing here & there. I'm afraid to buy anything online but the in-person choices are very, very limited. I've never seen a carpet pattern interesting enough that I'd want to turn it into a rug. Argh! (sound of frustration)

Anyone else who wants to post here, go to my other post today on the same subject instead -- someone graciously photoshopped both alternatives into the FR pic. Thanks y'all.

Here's a close-up picture I found of the rug. I can't tell if the other color in the rug is green, gold, or tan, but if it's not green, it may work for you. It also looks like the edge could be a gray color which might blend in with your wall color. If it's more of a gold, you could always paint your walls in something like BM Wilmington Tan.

Did you say how you felt about stripes? I bought a rug from this web site a few years ago and was really happy with it.
